Canadian home prices rise in Feb to fresh high - Teranet

TORONTO, March 12 (Reuters) - Canadian home prices rose in
February, pushing a national index of prices to a record high
for the second month in a row, the Teranet-National Bank
Composite House Price Index showed on Wednesday.

The index, which measures price changes for repeat sales of
single-family homes, showed national prices rose 0.3 percent
last month from January.

Prices were up 5.0 percent from a year ago, an acceleration
from January's 4.5 percent price gain.
